Held in the fall each year since 1999, Airwaves
is known as the launching point for many of Iceland’s most famous
musical acts. The event also features international bands and musicians
over one of the craziest long weekends you can expect to have this close
to the Arctic Circle.
Few performances are held in the daytime leaving you open to visit
glaciers, geysers, volcanoes, waterfalls and the famous Blue Lagoon.

Held in August in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, Outside Lands
features both up-in-coming and well established acts close to the
western edge of the continental United States. With several stages
tucked within the coastal forests of the park and easy access to one of
the world’s great cities, Outside Lands differentiates itself from its
better known peers, Coachella and Bonnaroo.

Hosted by the southern African nation of Malawi on the beaches of Lake Malawi at the end of September, Lake of Stars is an upstart music festival focusing on building the international visibility of popular music from the region.

countryside or just enjoy life soaking up the African sun on a golden
inland beach.4. Fuji Rock Festival, Yuzawa, Japan

The biggest music festival in Japan, Fuji Rock Festival
attracts some of the world’s biggest musical acts to a ski resort a few
hours north of Tokyo. The festival is held in the middle of the summer,
usually in July.
If you’ve never been to Japan, there is no time like the present, and, did I mention conveyor belts of sushi?

One of the oldest and most famous music festivals in the world, Montreux
is way more than just jazz. This festival, held on the shores of Lake
Geneva each July since 1967 has hosted many of your favorite musicians
of nearly every genre, plus it’s in freakin’ Switzerland.
6. Snowbombing, Mayrhofen, Austria

If you are one to not want winter to end, each April, in the Austrian resort town of Mayrhofen comes Snowbombing,
a festival that combines music and skiing just as most resorts in the
northern hemisphere are shutting their lifts for the season. At
Snowbombing, you can ski, rock out and eat schnitzel with noodles —
seems like a worthy expedition.
7. Folk On The Rocks, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada
If you are more of the adventurous type, a trip up to Canada’s Northwest Territories in July will bring you to the Folk On The Rocks festival held each year in the remote city of Yellowknife.
8. Laulupidu, Tallinn, Estonia
If you are looking for a departure
from the more traditional music festival, then you should head to the
Estonian capital of Tallinn for their annual Laulupidu
(The Estonian Song and Dance Celebration). At this festival, an
estimated 30,000 performers join together to sing Estonian folk songs
together as another 80,000 watch. It’s a tradition that dates back to
Estonian nationalist political protests that happened in the waning
years of the Soviet Union.
9. Buktafestivalen, Tromsø, Norway
Via bukta.no
If you’ve always wanted to rock out above the Arctic Circle, Norway’s Buktafestivalen
is the ticket for you. It’s arguably the northern-most music festival
on the planet, and, set among the fjords of the Norwegian coastline,
it’s also one of the most beautiful spots to see music anywhere.
10. Ultra Music Festival, Miami, Florida, United States
